As life goes on, we discover that experiences can be far more valuable than ‘things’. Many of you have tucked away great memories on the ski trails over the years or will soon.
Eric and Angela have a favorite trail where Eric made a marriage proposal to Angela. Will Andresen has an unforgettable memory of the same day he had his last ski with his Dad, Karl Andresen, and his first ski with his Granddaughter, Annika.
You may have a story about the first trail you skied with your fiancé. Whatever the story, it is yours forever. These experiences are precious, and we know you hold them in a special place in your hearts.
YOUR LEGACY SUPPORTS THE TRAILS
We want to allow you to ‘Honor a Trail’ by donating to the Anderson Bluffs & River Trails Foundation. Help sustain the ABR legacy for generations to come by donating to the Anderson Bluffs & River Trails Foundation.
How Honor Your Trail Works
Donations cover the Foundation’s cost for winter grooming, summer maintenance and fall preseason preparation. This program is meant to mirror an ‘Adopt a Highway’ program but goes one step further to honor what the trail provides, natural beauty, healthy activity, animal habitat, and family memories on the trail. Honor a loved one while ensuring the future of ‘your’ trail.
Honor Your Trail Example:
Honor the Sunset Trail in loving memory of our dad, Dave Anderson (co-founder of ABR as his sun has set)
The difference between this program and Adopt a Highway, is the Foundation will do the work. The Foundation pays staff to perform winter grooming and organizes volunteers to perform preseason trail preparation. The Foundation pays staff to mow the trails in the summer. The Honor YourTrail donations defray these expenses.
- A donation would be a minimum of annual contribution, with discounts for five years and a maximum of 10 years.
- All donations will be held in a Legacy account until the Anderson Bluffs & River Trails Foundation takes over operations on April 1, 2025.
- Your trail donation is tax-deductible as the Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit.
